The Kansas City Star's Sam Mellinger reports Sammy Watkins (foot) experienced a setback and will be sidelined 4-6 weeks.

Watkins has a long injury history in regards to his foot, and he simply can't seem to get it right after first popping up on the injury report with it about a month ago. Watkins is almost certainly done for the regular season. The Chiefs look like a good bet to get a first-round bye in the playoffs, so we may not see him again until the Divisional Round. Kelvin Benjamin was signed Thursday. Dec 7 - 12:35 PM

Back-to-back practices gives Watkins a legitimate chance at returning against the Ravens, though it is still far from certain. Even if Watkins does suit up, his health and tough matchup would make him difficult to trust as a WR3 for the first week of the fantasy playoffs. Dec 6 - 5:19 PM

Sammy Watkins (foot) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

It's a step in the right direction after Watkins was an early rule out last week. The Chiefs want to avoid rushing Watkins back given his history of foot issues. He'll likely need to get in a full practice before returning. Dec 5 - 5:09 PM

Depth Charts

Spencer Ware (shoulder, hamstring) is inactive for Week 15 against the Chargers.

Damien Williams will lead the Chiefs' committee, with Darrel Williams and Charcandrick West perhaps also featuring. Damien is a solid RB2 for what should be a high-scoring affair. Also inactive for the Chiefs are WR Sammy Watkins, OL Cam Erving, WR Gehrig Dieter, OL Kahlil McKenzie, TE Deon Yelder and LB Tanoh Kpassagnon.

The Chiefs' starting center the past two weeks, Devey did not miss a snap. Amazingly, he played through the issue against the Bengals. He had yet to miss a game this season. Finishing his age-30 season on I.R., Devey is capable of playing every spot along the offensive line.
